Abstract

Preserving damaged memorial buildings are vital to maintain a cultural identity to be reused and inherited by future generations. Buildings established in the past will overlook that they will be aging and weathering. Wooden construction in Malay traditional houses built more than 100 years ago faces durability issues. Environmental conditions equally make its structure unusable. In addition, its surrounding environment has changed, and the demands for new functions for improving the structure’s condition have become challenges in retrofitting the traditional roles into the current contemporary activities needs. The traditional Malay house in Kampung Bangka, Pontianak, which experienced a transfer of ownership from the original owner to the city government, altered its function from a residential house to a cultural house. Buildings having experienced weathering requires a well-planned reconstruction and re-functioning efforts from the city government. The reconstruction stages and house’s identification process of previous roles are required to accommodate new activities fit for culture and public space. Identification and analysis process carried out to resolve the damaged condition of structural elements of the building to maintain its authenticity as memorials building for the community. Identification is also required to anticipate the new function of the building by providing a new structure or reinforcement to govern the future activities during the operation period of the building. Cultural and structural analysis is carried out to improve the function of the building and the surrounding area into a cultural space that enhances its image as a public space.

Abstract

Accessing buildings for evaluation on architectural concerns are raised as some designers create the call to revive indigenous architecture when a trend of adopting foreign or international architectural style is widely spreading. The quests for cultural identity in Malaysia towards sustainable contemporary buildings require research of past achievements. Vernacular masjid is known to adhere to principles of passive design as the key to thermal comfort. Researchers posed questions on the extent of flexibility in vernacular architectural concepts, concerning design adaptation on modern masjids for optimal thermal performance. This experimental research aimed to evaluate the outcome of modern masjid façades designed with the vernacular concept in Malaysia. In the literature, research brings together variables such as building height, façade shading, serambi openings, as well as materials and construction details. A quantitative analysis led this investigation through observation and field survey on stratified random samples of modern vernacular masjids in Malaysia. Air temperature and relative humidity were recorded using a MIC-98583 sensor with ±0.6 °C accuracy in temperature and ± 3 % accuracy in relative humidity. Wind speed was measured using an AVM-305 sensor with ± 0.2 m/s accuracy. The empirical finding highlights serambi opening-to-wall design as the most significant element of vernacular architecture found in building façade that influences indoor thermal performance in modern vernacular masjids. The result could become an extremely useful guideline for designers to create the sustainable design in the future.

Abstract

There has been an increasing demand for outpatient services that support patient experience and quality of care. Consequently, healthcare systems aspire to reduce operational costs and improve resource utilization through different strategies. Given the complexity of multi-department outpatient healthcare facility operations, DES has been recognized as an effective tool for evaluating performance outcomes and design decisions. The purpose of this study was to introduce Discrete Event Simulation (DES) as an effective tool in the architecture planning of a multi-department outpatient clinic. The DES integrated patient flow, schedules, proposed layout, and staffing information to identify space and staff utilization, wait for the provider (WFP), and wait for the room (WFR). The study explored the effects of pooling decentralized registration desks into a centralized desk and staffing with additional kiosks for the primary care departments. We also converted underutilized exam rooms into telehealth rooms, flexible consult-exam rooms, and dedicated pediatric waiting areas. registration pooling and kiosks improved staff resource utilization. Allocating additional providers and exam rooms to departments reduced their WFP and WFR. DES indicated minimal operational effects of transitioning underutilized exam rooms to alternate functions. This finding enabled us to determine if space allocation modifications negatively affected operations. The findings suggest the effectiveness of DES in analyzing the impact of alternative design strategies on operational outcomes through a data-driven approach. This understanding is valuable, as improved resource allocation and streamlined operation are associated with cost reduction and enhanced patient and staff satisfaction.

Abstract

Flood resilience architecture is riddled with challenging and complicated issues. Few studies, meanwhile, have attempted to map the global research on this crucial area. The objectives of the study are connections among the stakeholders, the main areas of research, and the available direction in the body of knowledge. 635 document-related bibliographic records that were collected from Scopus were systematically and quantitatively analysed using the scientific mapping method. The findings showed that the top 3 keywords most frequently used in the field were floods, flood control, and flooding. The top 3 least discussed topics/issues were decision-making, rain, and urban resilience. This study's main contribution and distinction come from its status as the first to present an inclusive, comprehensive, and overall overview of the examined literature. By identifying key research topics, journals, institutions, and countries, as well as how these are connected within currently accessible studies on the sector, this study adds value to the existing literature. The findings highlight the limitations in the existing research and offer directions for future study, where they suggested that as a way of resilience to the problems, future study potential lies in the least studied topics. For the world of practice, the study provides a convenient point of reference for practitioners, decision-makers, and new researchers in the field. Therefore, this study increases the level of awareness of flood and flood resiliency in the housing sector.

Abstract

The design and build projects (DB) have increased in numbers in the last few decades. DB method is becoming more popular than the traditional method in Malaysia, especially in national projects.However, design-build projects may suffer from a significant number of problems, such as conflicts between the project parties (designers, contractors, and owners), resulting in poor performance and poor quality. One common cause of project failure of conventional projects is poor coordination and communication process. It has been found that no such study has been found to identify the coordination factors that might affect the project’s success. To fill this gap, this research aims to establish a framework of coordination factors affecting DB projects’ performance in Malaysia. This study uses a mixed methodology approach to identify critical coordination factors by a comprehensive review of the literature. The identified factors were categorized, ranked, and prioritized according to their influence on project performance using a quantitative approach. It is found that scheduling and planning, human resource coordination, documentation & records coordination, contract implementation coordination, value engineering and quality assurance, technical coordination, design coordination, management coordination, and external coordination are the significant factors of coordination that may affect the performance of construction projects. This study provides empirical evidence by correlating the identified coordination factors with DB project performance. Identification of coordination factors will help in enhancing and improving the performance of design and build projects.

Abstract

The idea of the nation-state, which usually emerges in post-colonial periods, uses architecture as a tool of representation in Iraq, as in many other examples that have experienced similar processes. These architectural designs are not context-free and independent productions but are shaped in parallel with official historiographies. While the official historiography in post-colonial Iraq defines the pre-twentieth century as colonialist, it establishes a relationship of belonging with the ancient Iraqi history and the independence movements of the colonial process. Therefore, the architectural structures produced in this period are shaped in parallel with such a historiographical perspective. Although not all of them are labelled as national, the architectural structures built in post-colonial Iraq have a wide variety. Among them, the monumental monuments and sculptures designed and built by government decisions in the city squares are the most characteristic examples of the nationalization policy. This article focuses on Iraq’s nation-building process during the colonial and post-colonial periods and will tell the story of the construction of two monuments designed by Rifat Chadirji, considered the most influential architect of this period. Since the analysis cannot be done solely through observation, the diaries of the architect during the aforementioned period and before will also be utilized to record his recollections of the design and construction process. This article concludes that the monuments in Iraq are linked to the politics of the period in which they were built. Each has an ideological symbolic value and has played an essential role in shaping national memory.

Abstract

This article aims to analyse the extent to which the regulatory authority established by Law Number 43 of 2008 has been implemented to manage the development of Indonesia’s border areas. The central and regional governments envision the forefront of the state to optimise the welfare of people living in Indonesia's border areas with neighbouring countries. Due to the widening economic gap with Sarawak, less optimal coordination between central and regional governments in handling state border areas, and limited infrastructure and social facilities, the border area poses a complex threat to the sovereignty of Indonesia. We conducted descriptive normative research by exploring several sources from the laws and regulations, books, journal articles, and online news articles. Additionally, we incorporated field research as our data collection method in West Kalimantan Province. The author observed the border area and conducted expert interviews with the local government, the manager of the border gate at Entikong, Sanggau Regency, and the West Kalimantan Provincial government representative. Normatively, the authority has been divided and defined in Law Number 43 of 2008. However, a lack of coordination in implementing the law was caused by the ambiguous hierarchy of authority among the stakeholders due to the physical capabilities to reach the areas. We argue that the closest coverage of authoritative bodies in giving services to the people will boost the people’s welfare in the border areas.

Abstract

Historic buildings are silent witnesses, bridging past, present, and future generations. The Sasaksaat Railway Station, which is inseparable from the 950-meter-long Sasaksaat Tunnel, is a treasure trove of historical heritage in West Java; it holds many stories and memories that are very closely related to the nation’s history, protected by Law Number 11 of 2010 concerning Cultural Heritage. This station is located in contoured land filled with dense vegetation, so a UAV photogrammetry method is needed in accordance with the character of the building and the area to be documented. The research documentation on these historical sites employs the UAV photogrammetry method, combining crosshatch flight plans, 60-degree tilt camera configurations, and making 3D BIM models using point cloud photogrammetry techniques. The research yielded impressive results, demonstrating the effectiveness of UAV Photogrammetry in accelerating the process of archiving historic buildings and their surroundings. The integration of this method significantly improves the documentation workflow, enabling comprehensive and detailed recording of the Sasak railway stations. This ANOVA test found no significant difference between manual size comparisons and photogrammetric results, even using direct geo-reference via UAV technology. The ease and reliability of this method approach can be recommended for low-cost historic building documentation activities.

Abstract

Local knowledge is the knowledge found in local communities that consists of a set of experiences that have been accumulated and provides information that shows the local community or local culture’s behavioral characteristics. As a result of a variety of factors, such information is at risk of being obliterated, including lack of interest from younger generations and low life expectancy, where knowledge enables individuals to die before passing it to the next generation. Therefore, this paper aims to look at the perspective of community leaders on the status of local knowledge. The data collection method used in this research is an interview. The results of this study indicate that the Minangkabau community in Agam Regency, Indonesia recognises their customs, cultures, and habits that are different from the general public. The investigation was carried out by involving community leaders related to the dimensions of local knowledge: (1) The environmental dimension of local knowledge through Lubuak Larangan is a type of community custom and culture that involves the preservation of river and lake areas within specific territorial borders and rules; (2) dimensions of local values; (3) dimensions of local abilities are employed to ensure survival by farming, livestock or industry; (4) dimensions of local resources: utilization of natural resources. The Minangkabau community divided its forest into two categories: prohibited forest and forest cultivated or utilised for economic interests and family needs; (5)  the local decision-making mechanism’s dimensions; and (6) local group solidarity dimensions: religious rituals, traditional ceremonies, arts, and cooperation.

Abstract

The notion of power, characterized by its ability to wield influence over others as guided by its holder’s intention, is intertwined with a spectrum of social control mechanisms encompassing force, coercion, manipulation, seduction, and authority. Malay sultanate palaces in West Kalimantan were a form of architecture hinggil (high) culture. The historical development of Malay ethnics in West Kalimantan is linked to power dynamics. This study investigates the historical development of Malay Sultanate palaces’ spatial configurations and architectural designs. It focuses on the colonial era, during which power dynamics exerted significant influence. This paper aims to ascertain the extent to which power dynamics have shaped the architectural aspects of the Malay Sultanate palaces. The analysis highlights the architectural objects and employs a historical methodology with diachronic and synchronic analyses to discern the patterns of power prevalent throughout the Sultanate’s history. Power is palpably demonstrated in effecting substantial transformations in the intent and function of the sultanate palaces, often through manipulation, seduction, and assertion of authority. These power dynamics are exemplified through architectural modifications, i.e., the controleur strategic placement and fort within the Sultanate’s vicinity, interior space reconfigurations, alterations in functionality, and symbolic embellishments reflecting the Sultanate’s authority. The colonial administration from the Dutch regime embarked on fortifying its dominion through modifications to the functional underpinnings of the palace chambers. The Dutch authority’s influence facilitated the consolidation and validation of their control. These mechanisms engendered compliance and acquiescence to the dominion of the ruling party through latent means.
